Quirks

• I've lived in Ghana where I volunteered as a teacher and accidentally became the king of the village I lived in.
• I joined a music group and toured a dozen countries. My highlight was a Spanish solo for 6k Mexicans. (For the record, I'm a terrible singer. I only got the opportunity because the three first options were sick.)
• For a year, I lived as a digital nomad in southeast Asia, the States, and South Africa.
• I run the equivalent of a marathon every week, only wear black, and I own less than a hundred objects.
• I've participated in a silent retreat and taken several solo trips to remote parts of the world.
